A magnificent sweep of sand stretches 7 miles from the seaside resort of Burnham-on-Sea, north to the holiday villages of Berrow and Brean. The village of Brean runs alongside the beach, and Brean Down is one of the most dramatic landmarks of the Somerset coastline, offering an opportunity for lovely walks.
